Meet Sooho
Creative, Open minded, Friendly
The great times we had with the hosts we met while traveling around the world for 1 year and 2 months had a great influence on our decision to become hosts.
On a typical day...
I’m mostly at home/work from home.
When I host guests...
I’m basically a tour guide. I like to do most things with them and show them around.
